technical difficulties

My computer is being weird and doesn't want to sync any new photos to the web. Sooooooo, I couldn't post yesterday and now can't post today. Luckily, as always, I have a whole slew of photos that I never got around to posting. Week before last, I barely caught the last glimpse of daylight to capture this outfit. I love the length of this skirt. It is a kind of frumpy skirt but it is so easy to wear. I keep finding new outfit combinations.

frumping it up

This skirt has become my latest stubborn challenge. I noticed the last few times (ie everytime) I've worn it, it's looked pretty frumpy. Especially, last time with the oversized grey, grandpa cardigan. Woooooooo that was bad. BTW you can see other ways I've worn pieces by clicking on the item under labels. Like if you click "plaid midi" below it will pull up the 3 other posts where I wore it. So I am determined to keep wearing this skirt until I find a way to style it that isn't frumpy. Any suggestions?

Other than that, I can say that I am all moved in! When I move I am always a fanatic about getting unpacked and settled right away. Too bad that doesn't translate to unpacking after a trip. I let those suitcases sit untouched for weeks!

The past two times I have gone to get my hair cut I have been so sick of these grown out bangs and been dead set on telling him to cut them short. I miss the versatility of wearing them forward or to the side or even down the middle (as much as my cowlick will allow). Admittedly I let months and months pass between visits...last got my hair trimmed in Nov!!! I obviously don't care all that much about what my hair looks like since I neglect it so. This scraggly mess is earned...deserved? So, back to my point. In Nov and this month when I went to get a bang trim I was done with the long bangs parted down the middle. And each time he managed to talk me into continuing to keep them long. I think it's that he seems so confident in this vision he has for my hair as it grows out. And I just don't care as much. All it takes is someone putting their hands in my hair and saying nice (and completely false) things about it and I do whatever they want. I am going to see him on Wednesday and could very well come home with a mullet.

I wish I had more to say but let these uber-teacher outfit photos speak for themselves. I am swamped with state testing this week and next. Wish my little munchkins luck!

rocking the ugly skirt

I saw this skirt at Kohl's and picked it up to try on. For whatever reason I put it back and my roommate commented on it being ugly or something. Well, I went back and got it. She says ugly, I say cute. I've always liked this midi length on myself and have several dresses this length. We laughed as she gave me crap about how hideous it is and rolled her eyes as I gushed about how adorable my new $8 skirt was. A small part of me kind of wondered if she was right and I decided if I could find at least 5 different ways to wear it, that would justify keeping it. The moment that my roommate said, "I hate to admit it, but you are rocking that ugly skirt" I knew I was keeping it.
